Chapter 198
When the nurse heard this, she immediately checked and found that the child’s breathing was almost imperceptible, but he was indeed still alive. It proved that the previous resuscitation had been effective.
The child didn’t catch his breath immediately, but he stabilized and soon began to show signs of recovery. He was too weak to have the strength to
cry.
Til send him for resuscitation in a minute” The nurse was about to leave with the child in her arms.
“Wait a minute. Please keep this a secret for me. If my baby survives, don’t tell his father. Just say that he’s dead. Please!”
Ella heaved a sigh of relief when the nurse nodded in agreement. She prayed over and over again in her heart, “My baby must be safe Otherwise, she didn’t even dare to think about what she could rely on to survive.
The wait was long. She felt uneasy and wished she could be by her baby’s side.
After Ella anxiously waited an entire day, the nurse finally came to tell her that her baby was saved. However, he remained very weak and needed to stay in the incubator.
The nurse sent a message to Ella: [Roy, 45+4 weeks, 5.2 pounds, preterm baby.] This was the basic information of her son
Ella read this message over and over again. No matter how she looked at it, she could not get enough of it Tears kept rolling down her face.
Her son was still alive. And he weighed 52 pounds.
Ella thought, ‘Grandpa, are you protecting us?
At the thought of her gray–haired grandfather, her tears fell uncontrollably.
Her son gave her the motivation to recuperate and regain her strength. Ella had hired a well–regarded confinement nanny to care for her, but she noticed that several of the meals tasted familiar. She realized that they were cooked by Jaden.
Jaden didn’t dare to send the meals he cooked for her every day, afraid that she would see through his trick. So he mixed his cooking with the food prepared by the confinement nanny. Although Ella recognized the familiar taste, she chose not to confront Jaden, preferring to avoid conflict with
him.
She was willing to see anyone now, except for Jaden. Everyone carefully spared Ella’s feelings, avoiding any mention of her son’s death for fear that It might be too overwhelming for her.
Ella kept everyone in the dark. She was hesitating whether to tell Jenny about the truth.
“Jenny, if a project required you to be abroad for two years, would you accept it?”
“Sure, but you still need me now, I want to spend more time with you.”
Jenny agreed without hesitation.
Jenny had always agreed to Ella’s requests unconditionally. She never doubted Ella’s decisions and consistently took care of her with the affection of a caring sister.
Ella
a felt warm. “We’ll leave in a month?”
“So soon? Are you cool with it?”
Jenny looked at Ella worriedly. “I’m afraid that you won’t be able to deal with that bastard. Even ifI can’t beat him, if he wants to hurt you, he has to step over my corpse!” Jenny said firmly.
Ella was deeply moved and felt tears welling up. She hugged Jenny tightly, unable to suppress her tears any longer. They soaked jenny’s shoulder, Jenny felt the same and kept stroking Ella’s head.
“Ella, even though your Grandpa is gone, you still have ine. I’ll be there for you!”

Chapter 19H
Jaden had already assumed that the child was dead. After all, he had seen the child’s purple body with his own eyes, who was not breathing and did not move. If Ella hadn’t insisted on taking another look at her son, no one would have known that the baby was still alive.
Thinking about it now, Ella felt a lingering fear. Perhaps Devin’s soul in heaven was guiding her, sensing her loneliness and offering her motivation to keep going.
“If Jaden knew that my son was still alive, he would continue to mess with me. I understand that his original intention was to help me, but I can’t forgive him. He didn’t understand how important Grandpa was to me and made decisions on his own. I’ll never be able to let that go. Besides, Grandpa seemed perfectly healthy the last time I saw him. He looked so well. It was only after Jaden visited him that something went wrong
“Do you suspect—”
“That’s right. I suspect that Jaden’s actions might have caused Grandpa’s health to deteriorate quickly. It seems like his interference triggered the relapse that led to Grandpa’s passing”
Ella clenched her fists tightly, her expression as cold as ice. She knew it wasn’t a good guess, but she couldn’t help herself.
“In short, he has something to do with Grandpa’s death. When Cullen comes back. I’ll ask him about it and uncover the truth!”
“Ella, don’t think too much. Take good care of yourself
Ella nodded. Her priority now was to focus on recuperating. She still had Willow Group and she had a son to raise. So she couldn’t fall yet
Ella finished her confinement in the hospital. The wound split, and she suffered a lot during the second suture. Now, the wound had healed and her weight had returned to what it was before her pregnancy.
On the day of being discharged from the hospital, Ella looked at herself in the mirror and felt that it was a dream. It was as if she had never been pregnant. When she got home, Hazel would still be there, and so would Devin. There would be a fool waiting for her to have meals together.
Everything could have been fine. But how did it become like this? Ella couldn’t help but feel a deep sadness.
There was no going back. She could never go back.
The day Ella finished her confinement was also the day Jenny went abroad. Jenny took Ella’s son away and avoided Jaden.
To keep Jaden unsuspecting. Ella even invited Jaden and Cullen to her place that day. The three of them would confront each other face to face Ella wanted an explanation for Devin’s death.
After such a long time, this was the first time Cullen had seen Ella. Upon learning that she had lost her son, he felt a deep sense of guilt, feeling he had not fulfilled Devin’s instructions and failed to protect her. Cullen rushed over but was intercepted by Jaden.
Jaden? Why did you stop my car?”
“What do you want to say when you see Ella?TM
“I will tell her what Finn did. He is the one who got Devin killed
“Depending on Devin’s lies? Devin killed Finn’s parents, so Finn hounded him to death”
“Isn’t it***
“This lie is full of mistakes and can’t be verified. What if Ella decides to dig into the past and investigate what really happened? Do you want her to find out that she lost her memory, that Finn was once her childhood sweetheart, and that she was involved in the deaths of Finn’s parents?”
“Then what should we do! Aren’t we going to mention Finn?
“Not We can’t mention him no matter what!”
Ella had lost all her family members. If she knew the truth of the past, she would break down,
“Then then what should we do?
“Don’t say anything. Leave it to me”
“Fine Cullen agreed helplessly.
He and Jaden didn’t arrive at the same time to avoid planting seeds of doubt in Ella’s mind. Jaden arrived first, and Cullen followed closely behind,
The Willow family had already changed. Decorated with black and white, it became a mourning hall. The entrance was filled with wreathed daisies, and the house looked grim. They couldn’t help but feel a deep sadness.
After they entered, they saw Ella dressed in black, her hair cascading down her back like a waterfall. She knelt in front of the coffin, staring intently at the black–and–white photo above it. So absorbed was she in her gaze that she did not notice their footsteps.
Ahead of Jaden, Cullen knelt beside Ella and kowtowed heavily to Devin’s photo. Just as Jaden bent his knees, Ella unexpectedly turned around, grabbed him, and pushed him forcefully,
“How dare you come to pay condolence to my Grandpa? Don’t you remember what you have done?”
